M. Fleischer Large Scale Abstract Crumpled Paper Modern Art Painting 1987

About the Item

M. Fleischer’s intriguing large scale work of art challenges what we commonly consider “painting.” The work itself is a sheet of paper, creased to create a richly textured surface. The chaotic, clustered, peaks resemble a birds-eye view of a mountain range. Paper with dimension… one could argue that this is a form of relief sculpture. Reds, indigo, teal, blue, violet, white, and even hints of yellow explode from this dynamic surface. Fleischer has captured a magnificent geological or astronomical event. Are we witnessing the birth of new terrain emanating from the Earth’s crust? Maybe Fleischer is emulating the brilliant dance of color found in a celestial nebula. It’s easy for one to become entranced by the large scale, nearly 4ft square, painting. The viewer is literally drawn into the image… there is a deep-set well matte. The original owner spared no expense when framing this piece. The artwork is housed in a silver colored metal frame that’s over 2.5″ thick. A deep, teal, suede-like matte provides an elegant compliment to the work. The piece is protected by a pane of acrylic. The painting is signed “M. Fleischer, 1987.” 43.25” Wide x 2 5/8” Deep x 48.25” High No damage to art. Frame has some scratches at the top edge (see photos).

  • James C. Borden Large Cityscape Street Scene Watercolor Painting Cerused Frame
    Located in Chattanooga, TN
    Absolutely masterful watercolor street scene painting by James C. Borden (1928-2013). Prepare to be awestruck when you lay eyes on this exquisitely detailed watercolor painting by James Borden. The modern painting depicts an ethereal urban scene crowned with summer light. The scale itself is impressive at over four feet wide and three feet high (50.75? x 36.675?). There is just so much to see, so much texture, so many layers. Borden has truly mastered his medium. This is a watercolor cityscape on paper, housed in a cerused wood frame and protected by a pane of acrylic. The painting’s vibrant colors have beautifully preserved. The mastery of this painting is unreal. Borden’s orchestration of color leads the eye through the painting with late afternoon sunlight carving a path through an otherwise gray urban interior. His use of color is narrative. The viewer is being teased away from gloomy city life with a glimmer of sun and nature on the horizon. The nuance in his layering, through elevated passages of transparency… simply brilliant. Be sure to spend time with this painting. There is more to see each and every time you look. Did you notice the Easter egg? Borden used his name as the sign on one of the buildings on the left. The painting is pencil signed “Jim Borden.” James C. Borden studied at the School of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and was a life long painter. Mr. Borden spent much of his life in South Bend...
